The Classroom
The classroom that I observe is for Math, it is an average size I would say but has a lot of clutter in it. My cooperating teacher cannot even reach his window easily because of all the math books and calculator boxes lying around. The desks are arranged the only way possible because of the board and there is little walking room. The teacher's desk is overflowing with papers and is very unorganized. There is a projector that was put in just last year which is very nice for notes and homework review. In the back of the classroom where I sit is four computers for Math Lab, that's where kids can come in during their study and do homework with the teacher. On the walls is a bunch of sports stuff, he put up the Cavs, Lebron James, Tiger Woods, Cleveland Indians, etc... There are no Math bulletin boards or posters; there are also no rules anywhere. The classroom is the very last room on the left of the hallway on the second floor. It is very inconvenient for running to the copy room or teachers lounge or office, but is very convenient for the girls, because it is right across from the girls bathroom. All in all the classroom would be alright but it's definitely not anything special and could be improved a lot.

Hey Rachel! It sounds like the classroom you are in is a bit challenging. The teacher does not really sound too good but you can also really learn from him. Having such an unorganized teacher can help you to become better organized when you have a classroom of your own. I hope observing is getting better for you and you are learning some neat ideas on how to run your own class.
